A website for mechanics and auto repair shops
This page is for independent mechanics, auto repair shops, tire, brake and oil-change shops, and mobile mechanics. When a car makes a bad noise, the owner searches on a phone and wants to know what you fix, about what it costs, and if you can see the car soon.
What a mechanic or auto shop site needs
- The services you do, as a list
- Brakes, tires, oil changes, inspections, diagnostics, AC, exhaust, whatever you do. A plain list helps a driver and helps Google match a search like "brake repair near me".
- Price ranges where you can give them
- An oil change or a tire mount has a usual price. Show a range as text, such as "from" a price, with a note that the final price depends on the car. It saves your phone line from the same question every day.
- A call button and a booking link
- A tap-to-call number at the top of every page. If you take appointments online, a booking button next to it.
- Hours, location, and the area you cover
- Hours that match your Google Business Profile, and the address in maps. A mobile mechanic lists the towns or the distance they travel. If you tow, or work with a towing company, say so.
- Certifications and reviews
- If your technicians hold ASE certifications, or you are a certified shop for a brand or network, show it. Link to your Google reviews, which most drivers read before they call.
What the free check looks for
The free check reads your front page in a few seconds. These are the results that matter most here.
- No viewport tag, so the page shows as a shrunken desktop page on a phone at the roadside.
- Served over plain HTTP. The browser marks the site "Not secure".
- No structured data, so Google has less to go on when it shows your hours and your shop in local results.
- No page title, or one that does not say "auto repair" or the town.
- Images with no alt text on photos of the shop and bays.
Run the free check. The full review goes through every page for $9.
What you get, and what it costs
- You pay what you think the site is worth, from $100. It is the same site at every price.
- Every account, from the domain to the hosting, is in your name.
- It loads fast, works on every phone, and works with a screen reader and a keyboard.
- No trackers, and nothing about your customers is sold.
- If you want me to keep it safe and current, the care plan is $9 a month. It is optional.
Questions
- Should I put prices on my website?
- For common jobs, a price range helps. People call fewer times to ask, and the ones who do call already expect the price. Add a note that the final price depends on the vehicle.
- I am a mobile mechanic. Do I need a website?
- Yes, maybe more than a shop does. You have no sign on a building, so the site and your Google Business Profile are how people find you. The site lists the area you cover and has a call button on every screen.
- Can you show my ASE certifications?
- Yes. If you or your technicians are ASE certified, the site says so with the right wording. I use the logo only if your certification allows it.
- Can customers book online?
- If your shop software or a booking service takes appointments, the site links to it. If you prefer calls, the call button comes first.
